Chapter 379 The Madman Mu He, and the Despised Zhu Meng
Upon seeing Elder Lingxi and Vice Judge Qi Min, who had been brought over by the Imperial Guards, Mu He was somewhat puzzled but didn't pay much attention. All he wanted now was to live, and he didn't care about anything else.
Now that they have the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum as leverage, he believes Han Ji will definitely release them. Only by knowing the location of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum can they prevent Ying Zheng from being resurrected, prevent the remaining dead emperors from waking up from their slumber, and at the same time make the ocean of the dead recede.
"Release them!" Han Ji coldly gave the order.
In front of Mu He, the Guardian Mage took the lead in removing the restraints on Vice Judge Qi Min. Vice Judge Qi Min looked at Han Ji with suspicion, and then at Mu He and the others on the roof of the museum.
As the vice-presiding judge of the trial council, Qi Min could easily see the current situation. She suspected that the Black Vatican below was threatening Han Ji and the others with something, otherwise these suspects would not have been released so easily.
"It's time to fulfill your promise." Zhu Meng's words were filled with killing intent, and lightning crackled around his body. If Mu He dared to play any tricks, he would kill Mu He on the spot and then attack Qi Min and Ling Xi.
He couldn't gamble with the lives of millions in the ancient capital, but he also couldn't let Salam escape so easily under his nose.
Even if he accidentally kills one of them, he must keep Salang alive!
Mu He calmly took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and tossed it towards Han Ji in mid-air.
Han Ji took the porcelain bottle and poured out the pills inside. After confirming that the pills were safe, he instructed the Imperial Guard mage to give them to Zhang Xiaohou.
"Where is the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?" the head instructor of Flying Horn asked in an icy tone.
"What's the rush? You'll see very soon. I'll definitely tell you before nightfall." Mu He stood on the edge of the roof, looking towards the north gate.
Han Ji, Zhu Meng, and the others followed Mu He's gaze toward the North Gate. At the same time, they contacted Du Xiao Lie Wang, Lu Xu Jun Si, and others who were stationed at the Clock Tower Magic Association, asking them to be prepared to provide support to the North Gate at any time.
That was the Weiyang District of the outer city. Now, you could still barely see the gray shadows of some tall buildings standing there, but the surrounding area was full of rotting corpses, skeletons, and evil spirits. On almost every tall building, you could see a pair of eyes that shone with blood-red light.
The owners of these pupils are either skeletons as strong as steel, or enormous bodies that weigh down buildings, or floating in mid-air like ghosts. Many high-level mages have probably never seen so many commander-level undead in their entire lives.
As night fell and a heavy rain poured down, the further one looked into the distance, the more hazy the world became. And how many terrifying spirits of the dead might be lurking in that hazy world? It was impossible to count!
The dilapidated streets outside the North Gate were teeming with all sorts of undead. Various spells were constantly exploding among the undead, but even so, they could not stop the undead from surging in like a black tide, constantly bombarding the golden energy barrier.
Just then, a huge star palace suddenly lit up the night sky, its entire body a deep blue and dazzling sapphire.
"Sea Emperor Tsunami!!!"
Suddenly, deep blue waves surged up from the sky, white spray rolling across the horizon, before crashing down on the dense hordes of undead outside the barrier. In an instant, they washed away all the undead from the streets—or rather, destroyed the streets themselves.
Beneath the waves, at least several thousand souls were swept away, followed by a loud roar.
When those on the city wall looked up, a huge skeletal body was falling from the clouds, landing beneath the cloud curtain and unfurling its stark white skeletal wings. As it unfolded its wings, the misty rain was instantly cleared.
"The Lord of the Underworld, the Corpse King!!" Jiang Han couldn't help but exclaim.
"Don't worry, Lu Huan has already made his move," Zhu Meng said.
"His strength is on par with President Han Ji. If I were to fight him, I would suffer a crushing defeat within a few dozen rounds. He alone could handle the Lord of the Skeleton Realm," Zhu Meng continued to explain.
"Looks like your combat strength isn't very strong, Old Man Zhu?" Jiang Han joked.
"What do you know, kid? Do you know that it takes decades of arduous training for a Super-Level Mage to take each step? Reaching the level of Han Ji and the others isn't easy without several decades of training," Zhu Meng said with some emotion.
Above the North Gate, Lu Huan had already clashed with the Lord of the Skeleton King several times, continuously unleashing super-level magic mixed with high-level magic. For a short time, he was evenly matched with the Lord of the Skeleton King, but he couldn't hold out for long. Once Lu Huan's magic power was exhausted, that would be the time for him to be defeated.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of the chief of the Imperial Guard mages, truly unparalleled in bravery," Mu He said sarcastically.
"Trying to stall for time, huh? Believe me, I can kill you right now," Chief Instructor Feijiao said coldly.
"I believe you, but I advise you to wait a little longer," Mu He said, then continued to look towards the north gate.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and not only the ground, but even space itself rippled. Mu He, as if he had gone mad, threw his head back and laughed wildly, "It's here! The King's tomb is here! Hahaha, hahaha~~~~~"
Those with spatial magic could clearly feel the fluctuations in space, and the source of the fluctuations was outside the North Gate where Lu Huan and the Lord of the Underworld were fighting. As the space continued to tremble, the rain-soaked space was peeled away like wallpaper being swallowed up.
The peeled-off area revealed a chaotic void, like a black hole that had suddenly appeared, but there was nothing inside except darkness.
